Bettye Zoller left a comment on Audiobooks & Narration: Paying Jobs!

"Sometimes it's ok to hire someone to edit your book reads. It speeds things up as you can be narrating more books and paying someone to clean up files same time. Track expenditures and measure if this is paying off. For me, it often does."

Bettye Zoller commented on Rick Party's article VO Coaches

"So have you considered a niche demo? Do you have a specialized knowledge in a field, i.e. real estate, dental, nursing, auto industry knowledge? Capitalize on it with a specialized demol. And don't forget this POLITICAL season!! Email or phone me!…"

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)

Voice Actor, Copy Writer, Studio Engineer, Voiceover Coach, Vocal Coach, Dialect Coach

HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE

My first "claim to fame" as a vo talent (one of many nationals) was the famous Chiffon Margerine spot "It's not NICE to FOOL Mother Nature." I'm still introduced as "Mother Nature'" I am a professional singer with a long performance history, major credits including RCA and opening act for the great Tony Bennett, TV, supper clubs, resort headliner, more. Then, I began singing studio work...jingles, record backgrounds, shows. After that came voice overs. I was on staff at PAMS and TM Communications and sang for movie producers in LA, top producers in NYC, Disney film scores, and so many more. Voiceovers have continued to be a staple in my career. They are always a wonderful income source and I love doing them. I own my recording studio in Dallas and am audio engineer and audio producer. I love editing and post-production. It's so creative and fun. I've been Creative Director of worldwide production creative houses three times which gave the training I now use in my own company, VOICESVOICES LLC. I've taught at several universities including Univ. of Texas, SMU, but my career was too busy and I resigned my last university position in 2004. However, over the years, my career job has been my work in the recording studios as a voice. I also love narrating audio books. I am a published writer and audio book author too. My audio book "Speaking Effective English" is a Simon and Schuster two CD set with Foreword by Edward Asner.My audio book "Commercial$peak" was recognized with an Audie nomination in the "best educational" field. I have written and published fifteen audio titles to date. This is the greatest job in the whole world. I adore teaching and present workshops worldwide. Hope you can enroll with me sometime. And invite me to your city. I love travel. I also phone coach and coach privately in my Dallas studio. All best wishes to you all. You can hear me on The Weather Channel, NBC, BRAVO, in the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, Smithsonian Museum American History Museum, and so much more. Keep on keepin' on.

RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS

Mattel Toys, Lionel Trains, Simon and Schuster audio, government and corporate training projects, video games, commercials for Burger King, Banquet Foods, Sally Beauty Supply, Bonanza Restaurants, Pepsi, PSA's, Air Force, Microsoft, National Public Radio, Bravo TV Channel, BBC America, many many hundreds more!

LANGUAGES

English, German, Italian, French (Read scripts, no improv or translations)

VOICE DESCRIPTION

Specializing in voice acting---characters, dialects, also known for my narrations. I am a trained actor using my voice to portray various attitudes and types of people. I tell my students that "voice acting is the most pure form of acting...no costumes or makeup or visual cues...only the voice!" and I believe all actors and singers would be well-served to become skilled as a voice actor! As a singer, my specialty is jazz. I was a studio singer about twenty five years before voiceover work kind of "took over." I've performed worldwide including a stint as opening act for Tony Bennett and with Lionel Hampton and many other greats. I've been a studio singer more than two decades and my voice is heard on zillions of projects from backgrounds on Willie Nelson Albums to the pre-recorded tracks for Ice Capades and Disney on Ice. We studio singers are "anonymous" so you hear me all the time but never know it's me singing! I still love performing, but only in concerts, not in nightclubs, and no longer want to do the "every night" thing singers must do. My days are too busy!

DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions

New York, Jewish Mother, French, German, Russian, Asian, Swedish, Spanish, British, and many "voice attitudes" from 'real people' to you name it!

VOICES I AM ABLE TO PERFORM

Senior Female, Middle Age Female, Baby

AUDIO DELIVERY METHOD

ISDN, Audio TX, FTP, AIF, MP3, WAV

EQUIPMENT

Sweetwater Creation Station in my home studio ( a wonderful room in my home), MOTU 828, four mics, so much more. My portable on the road studio is built around my Laptop made for me with superior audio capability and 2 gigs memory My fav programs are Sound Forge, Vegas I also have USB Audio Interfaces, MBOX, PowerPlay Pro-XL, M-Audio Speakers, Composer Pro Audio Interactive Dynamic Processor, Rode and Audio Technica Mics, Sennhauser Mics, Mic Stands of all types, earphones including JBG, Sennhauser, Sony, Noise Cancelling phones, more, fully soundproofed large studio space in my home with triple-pane Pella windows, studio 2 inch thick glass, Relacore Board panels, and I had special noise proof windows put all over my home to triple the quiet. It's amazing and wonderful.I love it and so do my clients.

Hey Bettye,

Been busy. I can't explain it except I'm on top of the roller coaster at the moment. Things are looking up in KC. Which is welcome since this has been a rough year finding work. It's all good now. Just gott to keep moving upward.

Thanks for asking and I hope you have a super weekend.

Hi Bettye,
I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving. I think that I might have missed your call. I noticed the other day that I had a call form a Dallas area code that was missed on a day that my phone was dead and left at home to recharge. If you no longer have my number and want me to call your voicemail again, let me know. I'll be happy to do so.

Hi Bettye, re your comment on my VU page--I just went to the settings page and fiddled with the appearance settings--looking at it now, it's kind of busy...

Hi

Great to see you on the Marketing for Fun and Pleasure group - I'm sure you have lots to share, and I'm looking forward to benefitting more from your words of experience (dare I suggest "wisdom"?)

Bettye, I appriciate your invitation to friend you on VU. I am eager to take part in this online community and having the insight of successful veterens such as yourself is very encouraging. If you had an opportunity to listen to my demos posted on my profile page, I'd love to hear your feedback. As for a VO agent in Arkansas, I have not found an agency that deals specifically in VO work. I live in NW Arkansas though, and would be equally open to being represented in Oklahoma and Missouri. I would even consider agencies in Dallas, it is after all only 5 or 6 hours away. :) Seriously hope to visit with you more in this forum.
